Legendary coach Bob Knight was always known for his hot temper on the floor. As it turns out, his fiery demeanor hasn't left him in the broadcast booth for ESPN.

During ESPN's College GameDay broadcast at Baylor on Saturday, Knight used an expletive to describe defense in a segment that had just been shown.

Following the commercial break, ESPN's Rece Davis quickly apologized for the incident, stating that there was no delay on the broadcast to prevent such profanity from slipping through on live TV.

Some of Knight's fellow ESPN broadcasters responded about the incident on Twitter.

Jay Bilas posted to Twitter, "We don't have an eight second delay on GameDay. I'm guessing the BYU job is out of the question for Coach Knight." He also posted, "Coming soon for coaches everywhere: Bob Knight's clinic on new developments in the Chicken @#$% Defense. Get your orders in early."
